You could easily insulate the coffin box, just cut a big whole into the chest freezer and insulate the insides of the coffin box and your done. But, I don't see the need to do that extra labor and it would definetely do a lot more damage to the chest freezer and would make replacing the chest...

Ha, I took those from an old box just so I would have something on there for the pictures. I actually just purchased 4 of these chalk board tap handles from Tapboards.com. Coolest idea I've seen in a while and they will look nice up there!!

My Auber INS PID Controllers are only on/off. Maybe that have other models, but mine have a high and a low switch, but still only on/off as a function. Example: Temperature set to 150 degrees for mashing, PID set to 150 PID LOW set to 148 "which wil turn my burner off at this temp...

Easy to Build and doesn't look that bad either. The body is structural sitting on top of a 2 x 4 base with casters for easy movement. The chestfreezer just slides in the back and the lid opens as it should. I haven't decided what I want to do with the top yet, Im waiting for my drip tray so I...

So for all of you guys out there who want to build a nice new brewstand and plan on using a gas manifold system with valves for the burners keep in mind, that running a regulator off of the tank to the manifold then out to the valves creates a pressure problem. When the regulator is setup to run...

Hey, where did you pick up those handy solenoid ball valves for the liquid transfers?

Hello, Phoenix Arizona Home Brewer Here. Well to answer the question, how did I find Homebrewtalk.com? Well Google Of Course, and I have to admit, that my semi-brewing experience of extract brewing definetly took a turn for the "large and in charge" once getting going on this web site. Just to...

Easy to wire, tough to make look pretty !!

The top and rack are painted with different paint than the sides and base. The temperature requirements are very different for the different areas

Here is the "mostly" finished stand. It turns 15 gallons of water into 10 gallons of wonderfull brew in about 3 hours.

Borrowed this idea from another build on Home Brew Talk, thought it was a great idea.

These turbo burners really rock, but remember to put wind shields around them or any little breeze will just throw the flames around.

Ace hardware and about 12 bucks and I had bulkhead fittings to hook up to my quick disconnects. the idea was to allow any combination of hose to pump.

Found some high-temp wrinkle paint for the top. It hides the blemishes and looks really cool, but be very carefull, you need to find the really high temp stuff or it will just burn off.

Found a box, built a controller, it's very simple and was very easy to build once I figured out what it was I was trying to do.

For my RTD probes to function properly, the water in my mash and HLT must be recirculating. This is the quick disconnect bulkhead for the HLT with an diffuser hood on the line.

2 of the 3 lids are fitted with quick disconnect bulkheads and 1 of the "swappable" lids has this cheap easy and very functional "sparge" arm that I built out of a left over piece of copper from another project.

I decided to run two March 809's to run the system. I was going to fabricate an elaborate mounting system for them, but after feeling the strength of the 1" square steel that is there now, there's no need. I could stand on those plates and they wouldn't budge.

Pot stored underneath to see how much room in underneath before burner rack final install.

Just getting a feel for the size of the build , notice the stand is high enough for the pots to be stored underneath when not in use. Another great idea from a member of this web site.
